Today’s guest is one of the most funny, relatable and completely open people we’ve been lucky enough to chat with. Tanya Hennessy is a comedian, radio announcer, TV presenter, multi-bestselling author and content creator.

We kick this chat off by speaking about something Tanya recently wrote about called the ‘catch up trap’. It’s where we all seem to be just ‘catching up’ with our friends and recapping our lives rather than actually creating new memories together. It can be reflective of the stage of life that we’re in, but it can also make you question whether it’s a good use of our time to just be relaying what we’ve been up to since the last time we spoke. When was the last time you created ‘new’ memories with your friend? Tanya is now all about creating these new memories and seeking deep joy from her friendships.

Tanya has been very open with her long ‘journey’ with challenging fertility. The main difference is that Tanya speaks about it in real time, not hindsight. Tanya is currently going through the process of her 7th round of IVF and has tried quite literally everything that you could imagine.

Something we are often asked during Ask Uncut is how to speak about kids, pregnancy or trying to conceive with a friend that you know has been struggling with their own fertility. Unfortunately there is no one size fits all answer of how to do it right. But, we ask Tanya how she navigates her friendships with her loved ones that have kids, how she responds to social media announcements and things like baby showers etc.
Tanya also speaks about the things that we need to address on a systemic level like pregnancy loss care and removing the deafening silence of fertility struggle stigma.

Hey Lifers!
Over the past 4 months we have been working on this very special project; a brand new 10 part mini series called Cloud, hosted by Life Uncut’s Executive Producer Keeshia Pettit.

Cloud is a podcast series created to discuss ADHD and late age diagnosis; a conversation that was sparked after Keeshia’s own diagnosis. The name Cloud is inspired by the experiences of many late-diagnosed women who describe finally feeling like a “cloud was lifted” after learning more about the different ways that their brains work and how they ‘fit’ into society.

With all of the content about ADHD on social media explaining what the condition is, I’ve been on quite a journey figuring out the difference between what I thought were personality flaws and what is actually symptomatic of this condition. I realised that there was a bit of a gap of what to do next. What was I meant to do with all of this information? Cloud was created to fill that gap. It explores the intersection of ADHD with identity, relationships, career, and well-being so that we can live more fulfilling and more present lives.

Each episode will offer insight into a different aspect of ADHD from guests like Mark Manson, the author of ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, psychiatrist Dr Kieran Kennedy, focus and attention expert Johann Hari and relationship experts Sabrina Zohar and Logan Ury.

Today’s conversation is about emotional dysregulation, shame, masking, impulsivity, self criticism and success.

• We chat:
• • Why I was so hesitant to speak publicly about ADHD
  • The ‘oversaturation’ of ADHD content on social media
  • How ADHD presents differently in girls and women
  • Wondering if I'd have known earlier, would life have been easier?
  • How I've changed since diagnosis
  • How Britt & Laura feel I've changed
  • Rejection sensitive dysphoria, emotional dysregulation, shame, impulsivity and time blindness.
  • Am I a chameleon or am I masking?

Hey Lifers!
Today's episode is with our favourite cast away. Matt is back from the jungle and he's dishing the tea on the behind the scenes of what happened in camp.
To summarise, it's not been sunshine and rainbows and special reunion times between our mum and dad... Britt is actually the therapist of today's episode.
We speak about:

• The real reason Matt didn't quit
• Matt's bone to pick with Britt
• Who Matt expected to win
• The part that Laura hated of Matt on screen
• Laura's travel with the kids and filming the finale
• How Lola has responded to Matt being away
• What Matt and Laura have been bickering about since
• Whether Matt *self pleasured in the jungle (this one will shock you)
